Thanks everyone for the VAT comments - brilliant info to know, I have just brought a Ball but Eterna have come onto my radar as a very underrated company this with an in house moment makes this a very attractive drop - that said it'll be no Christmas pressies for anyone in the house if I do pull the trigger - 6 months later and i'd be all over this.

I own a Kon-Tiki date bought some time ago. A great watch looking reasonably dressy while having screw down crown and 200m WR. I love the look of this and the in house movement is a bonus. I couldn't say as to present day quality but in the past Eterna were a real force though often picked up well under retail because of poor marketing I would say.

God, the silver dial on steel is a bad sexy mofo!!! And Eterna is an AWESOME brand, my 13 years old Kontiki vouches for it!
Come back in 4-5 months after the Xmas expenses are gone, and count me in Massdrop!

On May 23, 2017 Watchpaper ran a story entitled “Eterna is Kaput”. The story detailed the brand’s financial difficulties. Sad news, because I own two Eterna watches and they are among my favorites. I have not shopped this watch, so I have no idea whether this offering is a good buy or not. The warranty is the “Massdrop International 1 Year Warranty” and I have no experience with it.
I am done with watch buying, unless I hit the lottery.
So a qualified recommendation for this Eterna drop. Eterna really did make beautiful watches. ☹️

Yeah Eterna is expensive, but i got this one 2nd hand 13 years old lnib recently serviced and within cosc certification accuracy on a timegrapher for 900 euros. No cheap money by no means, but definitely more affordable than the new ones ;)

Most Massdrop watches are shipped from USA. I have had two shipped to UK in the past and had to pay 20% Vat plus a shipper's admin charge of approx £10 for collecting and paying the tax to HMRC. You might be lucky bit JIC I would factor in the tax against any price you can find within Europe.
